Pak Army shoots down Indian drone along LoC

May 27, 2020 07:53 PM


An Indian quadcopter was shot down by Pakistan Army on Wednesday after it violated Pakistan's airspace in the Rakhchikri sector along the Line of Control, the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said.

According to ISPR, the quadcopter "intruded 600 metres into Pakistan's territory to conduct surveillance".

This blatant act was aggressively responded to by Pakistan Army troops shooting down the Indian quadcopter.

"Such unwarranted acts by Indian Army are clear violation of established norms, existing Air Agreement between two countries and reflect Indian army’s consistent disregard to Ceasefire Understanding of 2003," the ISPR said.

The Indian military uses quadcopters for aerial photography of Pakistani posts along the LoC as part of its intelligence-gathering operations and target selection before carrying out cross-LoC shelling.

This years on April 9, Pakistan Army also shot down an Indian quadcopter after it violated Pakistan's airspace in Sankh district

Last year on March 16, the Pakistan Army shot down a "spying quadcopter" in the Rakhchikri sector along the LoC.
